This team will lose if they can't win the turnover battle. The Jags aren't built for the big play, so they have to keep the game close, that's their only chance and it all starts with Garrard. 6) If David Garrard can keep his touchdown to interception ratio to 2:1.

It is very very difficult to stop any NFL back on any teams roster and keep them from getting zero 7+ yard rushing plays throughout a game. It just doesn't happen all that often. Would that be incredible? Yes. But does that mean we are a playoff caliber team? I doubt it. Lots of playoff teams allow a lot of rushes for more than 10 yards but still manage to not allow a 100 yard rusher (though they may allow more than 100 yards total on the ground). To go off your 15 carries for 105 yards thing, that comes to an average of 7 yards per carry. Which would defeat your statement. But in reality a lot of those carries would probably be under 7 yards and then he'd break one for 15 or so. Get a few 2, 4, 6, 2, 3, and such until BAM 17 yards. It is just the way the running game works. Otherwise, I agree on all your points Terry. Except maybe the fighting....but I do come from the State of Hockey and I like a brawl every so often.
